Gigi Hadid ’90s-Inspired Rave Sneakers Are Surprisingly Affordable

As the poster girl of athleisure, Gigi Hadid has no shortage of sneakers. In fact some might say she helped pave the way for all of those oversized, ugly-pretty trainers that have been dominating the runways in recent seasons, most notably the ones by Balenciaga. (The It girl–approved shoe not only tips the scale in size, they also come with a hefty $850 price tag.) The good news is fans of the footwear trend needn’t dig too deep into their pockets to find a style that fits the bill. When Hadid stepped out—or rather, stomped out—of her apartment in New York this morning, she sported some towering sneakers from Naked Wolfe that top out at a cool $200.

The platform shoe was reminiscent of the ’90s rave sneaker, once championed by the Spice Girls, and gave her otherwise simple sweats a lift. They also gave Hadid plenty of room to pile on a bold print up top. Left casually unbuttoned, her trompe l’oeil shirt was stacked with the same throw-on-and-go appeal that was woven into her sneakers. And if one larger-than-life extra wasn’t enough, Hadid topped it all off with Westward Leaning rose-tinted wraparound sunglasses that made an equally big statement.
